Answer: A.

Venture capital firms use their control of the companies they invest in to protect those investments.

Explanation:

Venture capital is a type of financing that can be obtained through investors. They do not do this for just any startup or company; they provide financing to those that they think will have long-term growth potential and companies from which they believe they can get a good return on their investment.

Start-up companies with the potential to grow to need a certain amount of investment. Wealthy investors like to invest their capital in such businesses with a long-term growth perspective. This capital is known as venture capital and the investors are called venture capitalists.
